Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Trennschraube nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a separating screw according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Derartige Trennschrauben sind seit langer Zeit bekannt. Beispielsweise wird auf die DE 295 21 679 U1, die eine Basis für den Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bildet, verwiesen. Sinn dieser Trennschrauben ist, dass einerseits eine zuverlässige Befestigung gesichert ist, die sich aber andererseits bei Bedarf in kürzester Zeit lösen lässt, indem die pyrotechnische Ladung im Inneren der Trennschraube gezündet wird.Such separating screws have been known for a long time. For example, reference is made to DE 295 21 679 U1, which forms a basis for the preamble of claim 1. The purpose of this release screws is that on the one hand a reliable attachment is secured, but on the other hand can be solved on the other hand if needed in no time by the pyrotechnic charge is ignited inside the separating screw.

In der DE 22030470 A ist auch bereits das Problem der Splitterbildung angesprochen. Es wird dort vorgeschlagen, die Sollbruchstelle nicht wie üblich außen an der Trennschraube, sondern innen im Bereich der pyrotechnischen Ladung als Kerbe auszubilden. Außerdem soll in der Bohrung der zu trennenden Teile eine Vorkerbung in der Ebene der Auflageflächen vorgesehen sein.In DE 22030470 A , the problem of splinter formation is already addressed. It is suggested there that the predetermined breaking point is not formed as usual on the outside of the separating screw, but inside as a notch in the area of the pyrotechnic charge. In addition to be provided in the bore of the parts to be separated a Vorkerbung in the plane of the bearing surfaces.

Wenn nun die eingebaute Trennschraube gezündet wird, wird diese derart verformt, dass eine Vernietung der beiden voneinander getrennten Teile der Trennschraube mit den zu trennenden Teilen erfolgt. Dadurch findet keine Splitterbildung statt, und die beiden voneinander getrennten Teile der Trennschraube werden nicht davongeschleudert.If now the built-in separating screw is ignited, it is deformed such that a riveting of the two separate parts of the separating screw takes place with the parts to be separated. As a result, no splintering takes place, and the two separate parts of the separating screw are not thrown away.

Diese Vorteile ergeben sich aber nur, wenn die Trennschraube eingebaut ist. Vor dem Einbau ist sie im Falle einer Fehlzündung ebenso gefährlich wie herkömmliche Trennschrauben.However, these advantages only arise if the separating screw is installed. Before installation, it is just as dangerous in the event of a misfire as conventional separating screws.

Aus der DE 3803369 A ist bekannt, ein Übungsgeschoß für Panzer zweigeteilt auszubilden, damit es während des Flugs geteilt werden kann, um dadurch die Reichweite zu verringern. Es ist erwähnt, dass die Trennstelle zwischen dem vorderen und dem hinteren Geschoßteil eine Sollbruchstelle aufweisen kann. Die ebenfalls erwähnte Schraubverbindung weist aber selbst keine pyrotechnische Ladung auf. Ähnliches gilt für die DE 3048206 A , wo bei einem Übungsgeschoß Bolzen mit Sollbruchstellen erwähnt sind.From DE 3803369 A is known to form a training projectile for tanks in two parts, so that it can be divided during the flight, thereby reducing the range. It is mentioned that the separation point between the front and the rear projectile part can have a predetermined breaking point. However, the screw connection also mentioned has no pyrotechnic charge itself. The same applies to DE 3048206 A , where in a practice projectile bolt with predetermined breaking points are mentioned.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention Technische AufgabeTechnical task

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Trennschraube zu schaffen, bei der keine Splitterbildung auftreten kann, bevor sie eingebaut ist.It is an object of the present invention to provide a release screw in which no splintering can occur before it is installed.

Technische LösungTechnical solution

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Trennschraube der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a separating screw of the type mentioned according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die Idee, die der Erfindung zu Grunde liegt, besteht also darin, dass die pyrotechnische Ladung zunächst nicht verdämmt ist. Wenn in diesem Zustand eine Fehlzündung auftritt, können die entstehenden Gase ungehindert entweichen. Die Trennschraube bricht nicht, und so können auch keine Splitter entstehen.The idea on which the invention is based, therefore, is that the pyrotechnic charge is initially not dammed. If a misfire occurs in this state, the resulting gases can escape unhindered. The separating screw does not break, and so no splinters can arise.

In diesem Zustand wird die Trennschraube eingebaut. Erst danach wird das Element eingesetzt, welches die Verdämmung bewirkt. Es ist dabei vorgesehen, dass dieses Element in die Öffnung des Schraubenkopfes ragt. Auf diese Weise ist eine missbräuchliche Verwendung (erst das Element zur Verdämmung einsetzen und dann die Trennschraube einbauen) unmöglich, weil das Werkzeug zum Eindrehen der Trennschraube bei verdämmter pyrotechnischer Ladung nicht mehr in die Öffnung eingesetzt werden kann. Falls notwendig, kann die Splitterwirkung im eingebauten Zustand beispielsweise gemäß der DE 2203470 A beseitigt werden.In this condition, the separating screw is installed. Only then the element is used, which causes the damming. It is provided that this element protrudes into the opening of the screw head. In this way, improper use (first use the element for damming and then install the separating screw) impossible, because the tool for screwing the separating screw at dammed pyrotechnic charge can not be used in the opening. If necessary, the fragmentation effect can be eliminated in the installed state, for example according to DE 2203470 A.

Einer der Vorteile, der sich aus der vorliegenden Erfindung ergibt, besteht darin, dass diese Trennschrauben von geschultem Personal ohne Befähigungsnachweis nach dem Sprenggesetz eingebaut werden dürfen, weil diese pyrotechnischen Gegenstände nicht splittern.One of the advantages that results from the present invention is that these release screws by trained personnel without Proof of competence according to the explosive law may be installed, because these pyrotechnic articles do not splinter.

Vorzugsweise ist das Element zur Verdämmung der pyrotechnischen Ladung eine Schraube, insbesondere eine Schraube mit Abreißkopf.Preferably, the pyrotechnic charge quenching element is a screw, in particular a screw with a tear-off head.

Bei Verwendung einer Schraube mit Abreißkopf lässt sich die Trennschraube überhaupt nicht mehr ausbauen. Bei Verwendung einer normalen Schraube ist ein Ausbau möglich, jedoch erst, nachdem diese normale Schraube wieder entfernt wurde. Damit fehlt aber wiederum die Verdämmung, sodass nun abermals keine Splitterwirkung auftreten kann.When using a screw with tear-off, the release screw can not be removed at all. When using a normal screw, a removal is possible, but only after this normal screw has been removed. But this again lacks the damming, so now again no fragmentation can occur.

Kurze Beschreibung der ZeichnungenBrief description of the drawings

Anhand der beiliegenden Figuren wird die vorliegende Erfindung näher erläutert. Es zeigt: Fig. 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Trennschraube im Schnitt; Fig. 2 diese Trennschraube in perspektivischer Ansicht; und Fig. 3 eine Ansicht analog zu Fig. 1, jedoch mit eingesetzter Schraube zur Verdämmung.Reference to the accompanying figures, the present invention will be explained in more detail. 1 shows a cutting screw according to the invention in section; FIG. 2 shows this separating screw in a perspective view; FIG. and Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but with inserted screw for damming.

Beste Ausführungsform der ErfindungBest embodiment of the invention

Die Trennschraube weist einen Schraubenkopf 1 auf, in dem eine Öffnung 4 zum Ansetzen eines Werkzeugs vorgesehen ist. In diesem Fall ist die Öffnung 4 als Innensechskant ausgebildet. Es ist aber auch jede andere Form möglich. Die Trennschraube weist ein Gewinde 5 auf. Zwischen dem Schraubenkopf 1 und dem Gewinde 5 ist eine Sollbruchstelle 6 vorgesehen, die als Rille ausgebildet ist.The separating screw has a screw head 1, in which an opening 4 is provided for applying a tool. In this case, the opening 4 is formed as a hexagon socket. But it is also possible any other form. The separating screw has a thread 5. Between the screw head 1 and the thread 5 a predetermined breaking point 6 is provided which is formed as a groove.

Im Inneren der Trennschraube ist eine pyrotechnische Ladung 3 samt Zünder vorgesehen. Sie weist Anschlüsse 7 auf, an die Leitungen 8 angeschlossen sind. Der Raum um die Anschlüsse 7 ist von einer Dichtmasse 11 umgeben. Diese wird gegenüber der pyrotechnischen Ladung 3 von einer Lochscheibe 9 abgeschlossen. Der Rand der Trennschraube ist um diese Lochscheibe 9 umgebördelt.Inside the separating screw, a pyrotechnic charge 3 including detonator is provided. It has connections 7 to which lines 8 are connected. The space around the terminals 7 is surrounded by a sealing compound 11. This is completed with respect to the pyrotechnic charge 3 of a perforated disc 9. The edge of the separating screw is crimped around this perforated disc 9.

Auf der anderen Seite steht die Öffnung, in die die pyrotechnische Ladung 3 eingesetzt ist, über eine Bohrung 2 mit der Öffnung 4 in Verbindung. Die Bohrung 2 ist mit einem Gewinde versehen. Wenn die pyrotechnische Ladung in diesem Zustand infolge einer Fehlzündung detoniert, können die Gase einfach über die Bohrung 2 und die Öffnung 4 entweichen. Die Trennschraube bricht nicht, sodass auch keine Splitter entstehen können.On the other hand, the opening into which the pyrotechnic charge 3 is inserted, via a bore 2 with the opening 4 in connection. The hole 2 is threaded. If the pyrotechnic charge detonates in this state as a result of a misfire, the gases can easily escape via the bore 2 and the opening 4. The separating screw does not break, so that no splinters can arise.

Erst wenn in die Bohrung 2 eine Schraube 10 eingeschraubt wird (siehe Fig. 3), ist die pyrotechnische Ladung 3 verdämmt und kann ihre geplante Wirkung entfalten. In diesem Zustand kann jedoch kein Werkzeug mehr in die Öffnung 4 eingesetzt werden, sodass die Trennschraube nicht mehr entfernt werden kann. Erst nachdem die Schraube 10 wieder herausgeschraubt wurde, kann die Trennschraube wieder ausgebaut werden. Es ist auf diese Weise sichergestellt, dass selbst bei einer Fehlzündung im ausgebauten Zustand keine Splitter entstehen können.Only when a screw 10 is screwed into the bore 2 (see Fig. 3), the pyrotechnic charge 3 is dammed and can develop their intended effect. In this state, however, no tool can be used in the opening 4, so that the separating screw can not be removed. Only after the screw 10 has been screwed out again, the separating screw can be removed again. It is ensured in this way that even with a misfire when removed no splinters can arise.

Die Schraube 10 kann auch mit einem Abreißkopf versehen sein. In diesem Fall kann die Trennschraube überhaupt nicht mehr ausgebaut werden. In Fig. 3 ist die Schraube 10 als Imbusschraube ausgeführt, es sind aber auch beliebige andere Formen denkbar.The screw 10 may also be provided with a tear-off. In this case, the release screw can not be removed at all become. In Fig. 3, the screw 10 is designed as Allen screw, but there are also any other shapes conceivable.
